    摘要: Systems and methods for analog finite impulse response (FIR) filters are provided. In certain embodiments, a receiver includes a cascade of a mixer, an analog FIR filter, and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). By including the analog FIR filter along the signal path between the mixer and the ADC, design constraints of the ADC are relaxed. For example, the ADC can operate with relaxed specifications with respect to resolution and/or dynamic range when the analog FIR filter is included. The analog FIR filter can include a controllable transconductance circuit that delivers an integration current to a capacitor over an integration period, with the analog FIR filter's coefficients used to change the transconductance setting of the controllable transconductance circuit to different values over the integration period.

    摘要: There is provided a communication receiver comprising: an input for receiving a radio frequency, RF, input signal; and at least one finite impulse response, FIR, discrete time filter, DTF. The at least one FIR DTF comprises: an input circuit comprising an input port for sampling the RF input signal at a sampling frequency that is comparable to the input RF input signal; and N parallel branches, each branch having a set of input unit sampling capacitances, where each unit sampling capacitance is independently selectively coupleable to an output summing node. The input circuit is configured to convert an equivalent input impedance of the at least one FIR DTF around the sampling frequency to a real impedance.

    摘要: A signal processing device has a first discrete time analog signal processing section, which has an input, an output, a plurality of charge storage elements, and plurality of switch elements coupling the charge storage elements. The device has a controller coupled to the first signal processing section configured to couple different subsets of the charge elements of the first signal processing section in successive operating phases to apply a signal processing function to an analog signal presented at the input of the first signal processing section and provide a result of the applying of the signal processing function as an analog signal to the output of first signal processing section. The signal processing function of the first signal processing section comprises a combination of a filtering function operating at a first sampling rate and one or more modulation functions operating at corresponding modulation rates lower than the first sampling rate.

    摘要: A filter-information transmitting/receiving unit transmits path information with the filter information when the filter information is set by a filter setting unit, and receives the path information when the filter information is set in other network device. A filter-combining determining unit determines whether redundant filter information with the other network device is to be combined or deleted, based on the filter information and the path information. A filter control unit issues a filter-setting request or a filter release request based on a result of determination by the filter-combining determining unit.
